With an amazing viewpoint in black and white photography for decades, this master has never stopped learning, exploring, growing in his life and work. We caught up with him in NYC at the Lucies in Oct. and he passed on some info and advice you want to hear.

  • Film v digital is foolishness. The enlightened photographer developes in his mind what he wishes to produce (the final product) and then works backward through the tools available to him to create his product. You never hear of construction workers arguing about the merits of a new shovel and how they'd never go back to the old one. The real problem is that most photographers have nothing to talk about besides the piece of equipment that they become "married" to.

  • I think art has nothing to do with the instrument you use. But merely with how you use them and how much creativity and thought you put into them. Same with music and film. An instrument is nothing wihout someone controlling it and 'bringing it to life'.

  • @jonballphoto100 Product is what factories make. Art is a result of process.

  • Amazing advice

  • This dudes' hilareaous!

  • Digital is more more easy than film. You only have so much film and you can only process so much. Film is magical and romantic. Digital is unedifying for me. I'm proud of my master film images. A real photographer can make amazing images with a pinhole or 35mm camera. That is the real test..
